Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 427

Mohachi.

Even if he had made preparations long ago, even if he set off immediately after receiving Zhu Zhanhe's order, it would still be May when Kunzhaxi came to Mohachi.

Although Mohachi in May has not completely warmed up, it is no longer like winter, wrapped into a ball and afraid to go out.

As for Kunzhaxi, this degree of severe cold... can only be said to be comparable to his hometown.

No need to look through a telescope, just with the naked eye, Kunzhaxi can see the majestic Alps in the distance from the foot of the Western Carpathian Mountains.

However, the Alps in his naked eyes are just a piece of black. Experience tells Kunzhaxi that this is the real Wangshan running dead horse.

He lowered his head to look at the telescope in his hand, then turned his head to look towards the south, Kunzaxi's face was full of disappointment.

Little Basang is a bit strange.

It has been half a year since he was transferred to Europe. In addition to reuniting with this childhood playmate after a long absence, little Basang has also seen the changes in this childhood playmate.

Lifeless machinery.

From Little Basang's point of view, the current Kunzaxi is like a waterwheel by the river, turning day after day and year after year, and there is only one driving force driving him to turn.

Zhu Zhanhe's order.

Now that spring has begun, the Ming army has also walked out of the White Fort and arrived at the feet of Mohachi.

Although there is no exact distance, Basang knows that if the Ming army decides to attack, it will not take half a day to reach Mohachi.

However, Kun Tashi did not give the order to attack, but stationed on the spot, as if waiting for something.

Others may not know, but little Basang knows that the only thing Kunzaxi can wait for is Zhu Zhanhe's order, but what he doesn't know is when exactly Zhu Zhanhe's order will come.

In other words, what kind of idea is Zhu Zhanhe planning to allow all the Ming troops on Kunzaxi's side to station in the old place temporarily.

Perhaps only Zhu Zhanhe knew about this matter.

……

Papal States, Ferrara.

Unlike Rome, which is at the southern end of the Papal State, Ferrara is in the northernmost part of the Papal State.

In the past two months, the Ming army has completed the sweep of the main cities of the Pope, and at the same time cleared out some of the surrounding small countries.

Such as Siena, Florence, Pisa, Bologna and so on.

These countries are actually next to the Pope State. They appear to be independent, but in fact they are attached to the Pope State. They are one of the main forces belonging to the Pope State.

Similarly, in last year's "jihad" conscription, almost all young and strong men from these countries were recruited, and basically all went to Zagreb, Mohachi, and even the offensive and defensive forces that had already been buried in Fort Niko. In battle.

This also provided Zhu Zhanhe with excellent conditions, allowing him to easily complete the purge of Rome in two months.

And now, he is about to move towards the next goal.

"Do you know where Mu Sheng and the others are?"

Sitting on the horseback, Zhu Zhanhe looked at Jian Xiao while shaking.

"According to the news we received when we set off in Ferrara, Duke Qian should have arrived at the junction of the Pope's state and the Kingdom of Naples."

While talking, Jian Xiao took out a scaled-down map, looked at it briefly, and then looked at Zhu Zhanhe.

"If there are no accidents, Duke Qian should be ready to attack at any time."

"En." Zhu Zhanhe nodded slightly, then turned to look at Zhu Ling beside him.

"Let Zhu Ping hurry up. Don't worry too much about the lives of those people. By the time of Venice, there will be 800 people. If the others are unbearable, they can be disposed of on the spot."

"Send the order, the whole army speeds up!"

"Yes!" Zhu Ling's heart trembled, but he still bowed to accept the order.

In terms of dealing with the enemy, Zhu Zhanhe can be said to be unprecedented. It may be an exaggeration to say that there will be no one in the future, but it is probably not an exaggeration.

So far, how many dead souls are there under Zhu Zhanhe's name?Zhu Ling didn't know, or it should be said that no one knew, because they couldn't be counted.

But every time, Zhu Zhanhe was able to have new ideas on how to deal with the enemy, and Zhu Zhanhe's biggest characteristic was that he did not distinguish between prisoners of war and civilians.

If it was just a simple war between countries, then at least Zhu Zhanhe would not slaughter prisoners of war and civilians. After all, even if these people are not willing to naturalize to Ming Dynasty, they are still very good as slaves.

But one word stands out in all the battles he fought: fast.

He didn't have time to deal with so many prisoners of war and civilians, and he was unwilling to take the effort to deal with them, so he often used the simplest and most efficient way.

But even with a simple and efficient method, Zhu Zhanhe always surprises people.

Like this time.

The large and small cities on the land of the Pope had almost been dealt with. Zhu Zhanhe did not kill those civilians, but had them imprisoned regardless of gender, age or child, and asked them to set off with the army.

Because they are captives, the food is not very good, plus they have to travel. From Florence to the present, there are more than 3 captives who died of exhaustion.

There are a little more than 4 left, and these people will be escorted to the Principality of Venice.

It's not that these people will play a role in the battle of the Ming army's attack on the Principality of Venice. In fact, Zhu Zhanhe has already made preparations for the battle of the Principality of Venice.

Since the fall of Rome, which led to the fall of the entire Pope, Francesco of the Principality of Venice immediately felt that something was wrong, and immediately ordered the fleet of the Principality of Venice to return at the exit of the Adriatic Sea.

Today, the fleet of the Principality of Venice has been staying on the northeast side of the Adriatic Sea, that is, on the coast of Croatia and other places.

But in fact, this is actually the next strategy, because after they shrink, they are like turtles in an earthen pot, waiting for the Ming army to catch them.

This time, Zhu Zhanhe personally led his troops to the Principality of Venice from land, and at the same time asked Mu Sheng to lead the fleet into the Adriatic Sea to put pressure on the Principality of Venice from the sea.

And those civilian captives captured from Florence and other places will be used after taking down the Principality of Venice.

The purpose is to prevent accidents and to meet emergency needs.

Thinking of this, Zhu Ling couldn't help but look towards the northeast.

"Look at what..."

Zhu Ling's movements were very small, but Zhu Zhanhe still noticed it, and said in a flattering way.

"Your Highness, villain..."

Zhu Ling shook his head suddenly, lowered his head, stuttering in his words.

"Let it go." Zhu Zhanhe didn't care, and said lightly.

"Yes!" Zhu Ling shuddered, pulled the reins, and steered the horse to walk backwards.

When Zhu Zhanhe said to let go, naturally he wouldn't be releasing those captives, otherwise he wouldn't have said before that he didn't need to care too much about the life and death of those captives and moved forward at full speed.

Zhu Ling quickly stopped beside a carriage, tapped the shaft with a scabbard, and soon a head popped out of the carriage, and cast a questioning look after seeing Zhu Ling.

The answer was Zhu Ling's nod.

Soon, a birdcage was taken out of the carriage by the prince's guard, and inside was a blindfolded eagle.

The prince's guard opened the birdcage swiftly, carefully took the eagle out of the cage, first fed it with two pieces of fresh meat, then pulled off the cloth covering the eagle's eyes, and untied the eagle's feet. chain.

ji...

The cry of the eagle pierced the sky, and soon a black and golden figure also shot straight into the sky, parting the cloudless blue sky and flying towards the sky.

The crowing of the eagle was very sharp, some people raised their heads for no reason after hearing it, as if they were looking for the eagle's whereabouts, while some people lowered their heads and quickened their pace after hearing it.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not know if anyone in Europe played eagles, but they knew that in Daming, there were two ethnic groups who played eagles very well.

The first is the soldiers who were taken away by Emperor Taizong from King Ning. They later became the main members of the Three Thousand Battalion during the Yongle period.

The second is the Wusi Tibetan capital, which is a member of the Ming Dynasty, but adopts the monk-official system for self-government.

Eagles are carnivores, and their appearance is often accompanied by blood.

……

Meanwhile, Venice.

Francesco looked at the people in the city, feeling very regretful.

He originally thought that with the Alps as a barrier and relying on the Pope, his Duchy of Venice should be the safest.

At the very least, even if it is going to be destroyed, it may be in front of the Pope, but it should also be behind the landlocked countries like the Kingdom of Hungary.

However, what he didn't expect was that Zhu Zhanhe didn't play cards according to common sense.

Rome is so important. It has its own navy stationed outside, and the internal resistance against the Ming army is the strongest. It can be said that as the city least likely to surrender, it should not be wiped out so early.

Francesco once thought about it from the perspective of Zhu Zhanhe. If it was him, he would choose to turn around and clean up the Pope after causing heavy damage to the Kingdom of Hungary and other countries.

The reason is simple. Everyone in Europe believes in religion, and they all believe in Catholicism. As the center of Catholicism, Rome's premature extinction will cause the whole of Europe to be excited.

However, Zhu Zhanhe did just that, seemingly completely disregarding the consequences of angering the whole of Europe.

Thinking of this, Francesco felt endless regrets in his heart.

He shouldn't put too much pressure on the Holy See and the Holy Roman Empire. Perhaps the Kingdom of Naples is right, although because of betrayal of the faith and surrender to the Ming army, the interior of the Kingdom of Naples is a mess. There were voices of Jeanne II stepping down.

However, which ruler cares about these?If the Ming army can really succeed, then these foolish people will eventually die down.

The reason is very simple, no one will follow their fate, the success of the Ming army represents the Catholicism, and also represents the fall of the whole of Europe, what the hell are they still resisting?
Even if he didn't succeed, at least he survived, unlike me, who now has to worry about how to face the Ming army...

Thinking of this, Francesco sighed deeply.

It's not that he didn't want to escape, but he didn't know where to escape.

The north is the Alps, the west is the Papal State occupied by the Ming army, and the Adriatic Sea in the south has long been blocked by the fleet led by Mu Sheng. If you go east...

Yes, you can escape to the east, but where can you escape?
To the east is the Velebit Mountain, and after passing the Velebit Mountain is the middle plain of the Danube River, which eventually fell into the hands of the Ming army...

"Lord Governor..."

Just when Francesco was troubled, a voice made him slowly raise his head.

The vicious look in his eyes made the messenger's body tremble.

"The news from the group of ten said that you have brought the Principality of Venice into a state of doom, so they want to remove you from the position of governor..."

Francesco was taken aback when he heard this, but soon laughed.

depose yourself?It's good... cut off the last trace of concern in my heart...

Thinking of this, Francesco stood up, raised his head and looked towards the south, his eyes full of determination.
